What does the upside down fleur de lis mean?
Fleur-de-lis is NOT a lily, even though the word could be French for "lily". The symbol is an iris. Accorsing to Pierre-Augustin Boissier de Sauvages in Dictionnaire Languedocien-Francois, "The old fleur-de-lis, especially the ones found in our first kings' scepters, have a lot less in common with ordinary lilies than the flowers called "flambas" in Occitan, or irises, from which the name of our own fleur-de-lis may derive." The name actually derives from "fleur-de-luce" (archaic spelling) derived from the fact that the River Luce is surrounded by "an exceptional number of irises".By the 12th century the fleur-de-lis was a symbol of the Capetian dynasty.Sir Robert Baden-Powell chose it as the emblem of the Boy Scouts because of it's connection with a compass rose, so persumably one that was upside down would depict a direction of "south".AnswerThe fleur de lis is a lily..."Jesus Christ is The Lily of the Valley"...therefore (in my opinion) an inverted fleur de lis would be the same as an inverted cross.
